Hornady Superformance 6.5x55 140gr SST Rifle Ammo
Hornady Superformance delivers 100-200 fps velocity gains over conventional ammunition using advanced propellant technology. The 140-grain Super Shock Tip bullet achieves 2735 fps with uncompromising accuracy and no increase in felt recoil.
Hornady Superformance 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser
Superformance ammunition represents a fundamental shift in how modern rifle ammunition is engineered. Rather than relying on heavy powder charges and larger case capacities—which only increase recoil and muzzle blast—Hornady employs ultra-progressive propellants at normal charge weights. This elegant approach delivers all useable energy directly to the bullet.
Performance Characteristics
- Velocity: 2735 feet per second
- Muzzle Energy: 2325 foot-pounds
- Bullet: 140-grain Super Shock Tip (SST)
- Trajectory: Exceptionally flat with minimal wind drift
- Velocity Advantage: 100-200 fps faster than conventional ammunition
Key Features
Superior Ballistics The advanced propellant formulation accelerates bullets longer in the barrel, generating significant velocity increases without raising peak pressure. This means flatter trajectories, less wind deflection, and improved long-range accuracy.
Consistent Performance Superformance ammunition performs reliably across a broad temperature range, ensuring consistent velocity and accuracy whether you're hunting in winter cold or summer heat.
Versatile and Safe This ammunition is safe for use in all firearm types—semi-automatic rifles, lever-action rifles, pump-action rifles, and bolt-action rifles alike.
American Made Proudly manufactured in the USA using Hornady's exacting quality standards.
The Super Shock Tip Advantage
The 140-grain SST bullet combines a polymer tip for consistent expansion with a boat-tail design for superior ballistic coefficient. This results in deep penetration, reliable expansion, and maximum energy transfer to your target.
Whether you're pursuing medium to large game or seeking precision at extended range, Hornady Superformance ammunition delivers the velocity, accuracy, and terminal performance serious shooters demand.
Features
- achieves the highest performance of any ammunitinon on the market today with cutting edge technological advancement in ammunition design
- ultra progressive propellants, your favorite sst or gmx bullets achieve levels of performance that are simply unattainable with conventional propellants. in the past, shooters have used a brute force approach of using large charge weights of a slow burning powder in a larger cartridge case which ultimately this leads to more recoil and muzzle blast
